Democrats continue to make slow progress in congressional balloting

How are Democrats doing at the moment? Here are three takes on the generic congressional ballot during the last week of August:

Morning Consult has Democrats ahead by four points. The two aggregators have it at about a tie. All three show Democrats doing about four points better than a couple of months ago.

Conventional wisdom says that congressional balloting is so skewed these days that Democrats need to be winning the generic ballot by 6-7 points before they have a chance of winning the House. So we're still not there yet. But at least we're making progress.

    ‘Registered voters’? When do we see ‘Likely voters’?
    Actually I think ‘likely’ is going to be overestimated this cycle. The GOP civil war keeps heating up. TFG throwing own feces.

    6-7 points for a wave. Biden did +4 over Trump and dems still won the House. As the ignorant go rep and educated go dem, more and more dem voters will come out in off years
